1964 FOOTBALL TEAM
OSLAA Champions
The ’64 Football Gaiters represent Coach Bruce Coulter’s first championship team at Bishop’s. The Gaiters rolled to an impressive 8-1 record, defeating the Ottawa Gee Gees 32-12 in the title game for the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Athletic Association championship.
“Beating Ottawa, one of the top teams during the ‘60’s, allowed our program to be recognized on a national level,” said legendary Coach Coulter. “That championship brought a lot of attention to the University, our program and laid the groundwork for future football excellence at Bishop’s.”
The offensive unit averaged over 30 points per game and the defense was brilliant, limiting opponents to eight points per game while earning three shutouts during the year.
